As if it isn’t enough that your body and your feelings are changing, many boys find this is an age where they have to make a whole new group of friends!
Sometimes this happens because you are going to a bigger middle school and the kids you used to hang out with are in different classes and have a different schedule than you. Sometimes the crowd that you hung out with when you were younger starts doing things you don’t like and you need to find a new crowd to hang out with. Sometimes you just find that your interests have changed and you don’t have anything in common with your old friends anymore. Whatever the reason, making new friends can be scary but ultimately rewarding.
